Earth Movements Impacted by COVID-19

Earth Vibrating Substantially Less

Global Commerce and Life Profoundly Charged

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on the planet 

Earth.  Schools and universities are closed.  Businesses 

are shuttered.  Retails malls, libraries, movie theaters, beaches, parks, professional sports and Broadway are all in pause.

The world is in a shelter at home mode to stop the

spread of the virus. Fewer trains are running and 

flights are grounded.  Rush hour is no more.

The result on planet Earth is unprecedented.

The dramatic shutdown of global economic

activity has resulted in the Earth vibrating a

great deal less.

Standing Still

According to seismologists the planet Earth is virtually

standing still.  Researchers in London, Brussels and Los

Angeles have documented a 30 to 50% drop in

ambient seismic noise since the pandemic

lockdowns began.  They say this demonstrates

that most people are sheltering in the safety of

their homes, waiting for the highly infectious and

dangerous virus to run its course. And, there is 

one positive from the dramatic reduction in

global economic activity.  Since the shelter at home

directives began, carbon dioxide emissions have hit 

the lowest level since World War 11.  For a free browse of journalist Edward Kane's  recent books on breakthrough global innovations, go to amazon.com/author/ekane.  I co-authored the books with Ed.
